The Joy of Grammar [Emma]
We’re in the second week of home school now. I’m doing more reading this week. I’m reading Call of the Wild, some short stories by Edgar Allan Poe, two essays by Orwell, and a few other things. The short stories are really weird, but I liked Call of the Wild a lot. I don’t have to do worksheets this week, but I do have to do grammar and creative writing. I think grammar is just about the most boring thing one could possibly have to learn and I am horrible at writing and I hate it. The algebra is still pretty easy, but the science this week is a bit better.

Emma,
Tell your dad to get you Eats, Shoots and Leaves for you. It's a book about grammar that became a best-seller - No kidding!
Grammar can be pretty interesting too when people make mistakes. On the back of a video - the description of the plot included an event involving "Greek navel ships" which is a pretty funny picture when you think about it.
